I totally read this book for the plot... the plot being Rhys Larsen. Anyways, the book was a great dark romance. The characters were lovable, the story was quick, and the actual plot honestly was well thought out. The topes made sense and did not feel overused.

I liked this story the most out of the book series. 
Sadly the sidecharacters weren't included more but I understand that choice to do it this way. The MCs were complex and I liked the character development of especiall the fMC.

One issue I have with this series is that, to me, it does not fit the genres. It is neither an actual dark romance nor lighthearted fluff...so I always have to be in one specific mood to read them.
The ending seems also kind of rushed, meaning after the climax of the story it was kind of meh were I had hoped for the rest of the puzzle pieces starting to fit in to be more interesting/exciting...

I honestly didn’t like it as much as I thought it would. It definitely lost me for a minute there and caught myself skimming once I got to like 65%. I can’t put my finger on any dislikes though.

It is a good book. It was pretty predictable but there was a side plot that was unexpected. If yu dont like dark books and you need

a happy ending

then this book is for you.
